Inside the Business of Interior Design with Paulina DuPain, Part 3

I’m joined again for the third week by special guest Paulina DuPain, a fellow designer at Affordable Interior Design by Uploft. She has an extensive background in the interior design industry before coming to the firm seven years ago. She is the perfect person to help answer all of your business questions. If you are wondering who Paulina is, check out Part 1 of this series to learn more about her background.    Last week, we talked about creating an apartment space that not only felt cohesive but distinct as well, item sourcing issues, how to deal with upset clients because of those issues, and so much more. Be sure to listen to parts 1 and 2 before diving into this week’s episode with more questions from the mailbag about the business side of interior design.   This episode, we discuss… [2:10] Sticking to a client’s budget when designing (Lisa) [6:01] Having bad experiences with sourcing companies and ways to avoid that (Francis)  [9:00] How to become an interior designer and find confidence (Virginia) [17:42] Finding more clients to consistently have something to work on (Susie) [24:30] Learning to design in a style outside of your comfort zone (Renee) Links:   Website: https://www.betsyhelmuth.com   Book: https://www.betsyhelmuth.com/my-book   Become a Premium Member: https://www.affordableinteriordesign.com/podcast   Submit Your Questions: https://www.affordableinteriordesign.com/podcast   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/affordableinteriordesign   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AffIntDesign
